SS Russia, 19th century passenger ship wreck in Chippewa County, United States
The steel-hulled SS Russia measured 109.1 meters in length with a beam of 13.1 meters and operated passenger routes across the Great Lakes from 1872.
The SS Russia transported numerous passengers and cargo between British and North American ports until its involvement in a collision near Lake Huron in 1887.
The vessel embodied the maritime engineering standards of late 19th century North American shipbuilding through its construction methods and navigational equipment.
Located at coordinates 45°52'33"N and 83°34'57"W, the wreck site contains remnants of the ship's original steel structure and mechanical components.
Charles Dickens selected this vessel for his return journey to England following his second United States tour, documenting his experiences aboard.
